It was the next day 

Luke walked alongside his friends, Jasmine and Anthony, after another day at school. As they strolled down the familiar streets, Jasmine couldn't help but ask about their plans for the upcoming weekend.

"So, any exciting plans for the weekend?" Jasmine inquired, her voice filled with curiosity.

Anthony paused for a moment, contemplating his response. "Nothing much, really," he replied, his voice tinged with a hint of uncertainty. "I'll probably just be at home, doing what I love the most."

Jasmine smirked playfully, already knowing the answer. "Stuffing your mouth with food and snacks, right?" she teased.

Anthony chimed in, chuckling. "Well, yeah, that's a given. But, most importantly, I'll be glued to the TV," he exclaimed with enthusiasm.

The trio continued their banter, sharing laughs and inside jokes. Jasmine then reminded them about the upcoming final year exams, causing a slight shift in the conversation.

"Hey, Luke, what about you?" Jasmine asked, her tone becoming more serious. "Any plans for the weekend?"

Luke hesitated for a moment, his mind filled with a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. "Oh, me? Well..." he trailed off, unsure of how to express his inner turmoil. "Nothing, really. I don't have any plans."

Jasmine and Anthony exchanged glances, sensing that something was amiss. Concern etched on their faces, they approached their friend with empathy.

"Luke, is everything okay?" Jasmine asked gently, her voice filled with genuine care.

Luke hesitated once again, grappling with the decision of whether or not to confide in his friends. Finally, he mustered up the courage to speak his truth.

"Hmm, can you both keep a secret?" Luke asked tentatively, his voice barely above a whisper.

Jasmine and Anthony nodded, their expressions now serious and attentive. "Of course, Luke," Anthony reassured him. "You can trust us."

Taking a deep breath, Luke decided to share the incredible truth that had been weighing on his mind.

"What if I told you both that the supernatural realm exists?" Luke began, his voice trembling with a mix of fear and excitement. "What if I told you that I am a werewolf?"

As his words hung in the air, Jasmine and Anthony exchanged bewildered glances. Laughter bubbled up from within them, unable to fathom the magnitude of Luke's revelation.

But with a lot of convincing from Luke, jasmine and Anthony felt a spark of belief 

Anthony's eyes widened in disbelief. "Wait, you're saying all those supernatural creatures actually exist? Vampires, witches, wizards, and maybe even necromancers?"

Luke nodded, his expression serious. "I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. 

I suggested you both come home with me . My dad knows more about this supernatural stuff than i do."

Jasmine, still processing the information, finally spoke up. "Luke, this is a lot to take in. But would love to know more so, I'm in."

They arrived at luke home 

Seeing the three elder council 

" Kelvin welcomed Luke into the room, he sensed that it might not be the best time to talk. Luke reassured his father that it was alright, as Jessica and Anthony already knew about his secret. Kelvin seemed surprised and asked if Luke had told them himself. Luke confirmed that he had shared the truth with his closest friends, and they had promised to keep it a secret.

However, their conversation was interrupted by one of the elder council members, who pointed out that Luke had violated one of the rules. Kelvin apologized, explaining that Luke was not yet aware of all the rules. Luke was curious about what had happened, and Kelvin revealed that supernatural beings were not allowed to disclose their existence to humans. The council member warned them about the potential consequences if humanity found out, as it could lead to conflict between the two realms.

Luke expressed his regret, explaining that he had only told Jasmine and Anthony because they were his closest friends and he trusted them to keep the secret. Kelvin sought forgiveness from the elder council, who let it slide as a warning.

Kelvin then revealed to Luke that he would be admitted to the supernatural academy. Explaining that the academy would teach him how to control his transformations and provide valuable knowledge about the werewolf curse. Additionally, Luke would have the opportunity to make new friends who shared similar experiences.

As the elder council took their leave, Jessica was in the kitchen preparing dinner. Kelvin mentioned to Luke that once he finished his final year exams, a new chapter of his life would begin. It was an exciting prospect to think about the adventures that awaited him in the supernatural realm.

"Hey Jasmine and Anthony, how are your parents doing?" Kelvin asked. 

"They are good, Mr. Silvermane," both Jasmine and Anthony replied.

"I heard your dad just got promoted, Anthony," Kelvin said, acknowledging the news.

"Yes, sir," Anthony replied with a nod. "Tell him I said congrats," Kelvin added.

As they all sat down to eat, the conversation flowed. Jessica, finished with the cooking, joined them at the table. Kelvin quenched Jasmine and Anthony's curiosity about the supernatural beings, and they made a promise to keep their existence a secret.

After the meal, Luke offered to escort Jasmine and Anthony home. As they walked, Anthony couldn't contain his excitement. "So, you're a werewolf and get to attend a supernatural school? How cool is that?" he exclaimed.

Luke, still processing the weight of his newfound identity, replied, "Well... I guess."

"Yeah, really! Getting to meet other werewolves, vampires, and witches," Anthony continued, his enthusiasm contagious.

Luke nodded, acknowledging the unique opportunity. "Yeah."

"I'm really gonna miss you, Luke," Jasmine said, her voice filled with genuine sadness.

"I'll miss you both too, but hey, we've got next week and this weekend to catch up," Luke reassured them, trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah," Jasmine agreed, a hint of excitement in her voice.

Luke then proposed an idea. "So, why don't we go out this Saturday? We can go watch a movie at the cinema."

"Cool!" Anthony exclaimed, immediately on board with the plan.

Jasmine chimed in, "Sounds great!"

As they said their goodbyes, Anthony headed home, and Jasmine walked with Luke for a little longer. Before parting ways, Jasmine mustered up the courage and pecked Luke on the cheek, leaving him with a smile as she blushed and headed home.

Luke, too, walked home with a smile on his face, feeling grateful for the connection he had with his friends.
